Not gonna pretend that the unhoused in this situation are being helped or anything, but it goes to show that the US government is capable of improving things for its people but choses not to.
Also, remember when Beijing hosted the Olympics and Westoids accused China of hiding all the beggars? Lmao.
I think the Hotel wanted like 20k per day from Castro. So Malcolm X invited him to stay on a hotel he knew in Harlem.
iirc, they had arranged a suite for him in a segregated hotel and he said nope fuck that.
Watched that big Castro docu a few weeks ago. The hotel he had originally stayed in threw out the Cuban delegation because of public pressure. Castro threatened to camp out in front of the UN and that's when the Theresa Hotel in Harlem offered him to stay there for free and he took them up on the offer. Sorta sparked the long-standing solidarity between Cuba and Black liberation more generally
They talk about it here. Whole thing is worth watching too
